Triple (Hot) Chocolate

Hope you are in the mood for a chocolaty treat today because I've got just the thing to warm you right up! If you've ever needed an easy homemade hot chocolate recipe, then look no further.

I also had the great pleasure to work with Tim Tam biscuits on this post—two exciting things about that. First, their delicious chocolaty wafer biscuits (called biscuits, not cookies because they are from Australia, guys) go perfectly with this recipe as the crunchy wafer insides are amazing next to the rich and creamy hot chocolate. And the second thing, Tim Tam biscuits are fully launching in the United States (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). So if you are US based, like me, and have had these while traveling and wished you could buy them at home—well, you're in luck. The four flavors available are Original, Classic Dark, Dark Mint and Chewy Caramel. Hooray!

For this hot chocolate recipe, we are going to use three different chocolates, but I've also got a few quick notes at the end of this post regarding substitution ideas in case you are looking to swap things around. But first, here's my super simple and delicious recipe for homemade hot chocolate.

In Australia you use them as a straw! You bite off each end then dip one end in a hot drink then suck till the drink make its way up to your mouth! The heat me melts the inside of the biscuit and it goes all gooey then you pop the rest in your mouth, soooo good

I just realized I haven’t had a mug of hot chocolate all winter. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. This looks amazing and so do those biscuits, soooo thinking I’m going to need to remedy this situation asap.http://www.wonderlandsam.com

Sarah I was about to write the same thing haha!! How good are Tim Tam straws!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They’re also good for drinking creamy cocktails too like a lovely kahlua *wink wink*
My brother in law recently moved to the US and is super excited he can now pick these up.

Tim Tams in the US?! Your ad worked; I’m so excited hahaha!!! I grew up in Dubai with a lot of international friends and the magic of a Tim Tam ‘slam’ was one of our favorite things, as well as then introducing our other American friends to it. Yum. So many fun memories too (and falling apart Tim Tams from not eating it fast enough after using the coffee or milk)!

OMG! This looks so good! I am on a huge hot chocolate kick right now since I am not drinking coffee. Nothing like something warm and sweet to relax with before starting my day. I’ve never tried hot chocolate from scratch!

WOW! This looks amazing! A friend always adds a little cayenne pepper to her homemade hot chocolate… I like it better without but I do keep a little on hand for her. I will making this over the weekend for sure!

I didn’t realize these were hard to find in the US. Our grocery stores have stocked them since I was in college, good to know they’ll be available for everyone. And I think I was the same to come here and say Tim Tam Slams are where it’s at! That’s the only reason I’ve ever bought them! 🙂

Tim Tams have been available in the US (at Target stores) for some time now…but I am happy to see more flavours arrive in stores – particularly the dark choc mint. Definitely made this Aussie girl living in the U.S very happy!
